While the mathematical odds of rock-paper-scissors is one-in-three, the ACTUAL odds are different because humans are involved – and humans have emotions.

Researchers found that players had a tendency to repeat a wining move.

Players also had a tendency to give up on a move if they lost using it more than twice in a row.

With that in mind, the way to improve your chances of winning is to throw down a gesture that would either beat the previous winner – or throw down a gesture that would beat one of the other two gestures a prior loser had not just used.

Imagine how much better your life would have been if you had known all along how to win rock-paper-scissors.
